FLMV 12 is all about telling a story, with a desired message, while making
an impression through film/video. It is not about grabbing a camera to
entertain others by videoing random spontaneous silliness or people performing stunts
for the camera. Students
will learn to produce impressive and entertaining footage, but through
a calculated effort to produce effective results for a targeted purpose.

Did you ever hear two people tell the same joke and one
had everyone nearly busting a gut while the other is lucky to get a groan from
anyone. It's all about the delivery. The content is one thing, but the added
boost you get with crafted visuals and sound does far more than support the
content, it makes
it.

This a dynamic course that is very much subject to change depending on the
imagination of students and opportunities that may present themselves. The
course requires some self discipline and continuous input by the students who
wish to succeed. "Steady wins the race", as they say. Typically, students will
be broken into groups/film companies that will last the duration of the
semester. They will develop an identity for their group by coming up with a
group name like "BJO Productions" or "Dragon Studios". They may have their
own insignia and theme music etc. Unless an individual or group receive the
approval for an alternative project or project requirement; the following will
stand as the outline for each group:

News Broadcast<<each person in a group is responsible for an individual aspect of
the collective news broad cast.

one elective Jan
15th

Theory tests << there will be
3 theory tests
administered over the 2 terms.

Click on each for the outline. There
are options for a group to agree to decide which exercise they wish to
do as a group and which do do individually between the Independent
video and the commercial for a Cause.

Individually, students will start off with the theory to
support the hands on activities. This will be broken down into 3 Acts which
translates into 3 important tests for each act.
